NHTSA complaint: 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE — ENGINE
While driving for approximately 4 hours I heard a loud pop and the car shut off with no warning. Smoke began to come from under the hood and as I opened the hood you can see a small fire coming from underneath the engine. Luckily I was able to put out the fire and had the car towed to a mechanic who informed me that I had a hole in my engine block. Had vehicle towed to dealership and contacted Hyundai about issue. Iâm told their was a recall but I never received notice. Thereâs a case being investigated by Hyundai but as of now no details. Vehicle remains at dealership until further notice.
